I love my cat!

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING IS A LONG AND INVOVLED STORY ABOUT MY STRESSFUL WEEKEND. ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!

Hope you had a great weekend! I had a wierd one! I was using my new laptop computer to work on a speech and I had everything spread out on the dining room table. Well apparently our cat, Abbey, has decided that the dining room table is HER turf. When I wasn't looking she chewed through the AC adapter cord ($85 at Best Buy) causing the computer to shut down (while I was in the middle of preparing my very-first-ever Powerpoint presentation). SO.. Preston took it back to Best Buy where the "Geeks" graciously provided us with another AC adapter cord that was no longer being used for a display item. We plugged it in and it worked beautifully! (For 2 hours). The computer shut down agan!!!! I was really worried because I was completely done with the Powerpoint and Outline for my el fabuloso speech entitled "It Takes a Community"...So this afternoon after church, Preston returned to Best Buy. Again, the "Geeks" proved their worth by replacing my laptop computer with a "brandy new" one!!! Can you believe it??? What a blessing!

THE MORAL OF THIS STORY:

Don't infringe on your cat's turf and shop at Best Buy for all of your electronics needs!

i would think chewing through the cord would have electrocuted the cat. must be true about them having 9 lives -- guess yours is down to 8 now!!
